For over seventy years, the Lynchburg Humane Society has operated as a private, non-profit organization, caring for lost and homeless pets. Last year, our Lynchburg Center for Pets helped over 14,000 pets. We are a 501c3, as well as a lifesaving Humane Society, where we firmly believe that no healthy or treatable pet should be euthanized. By operating the public shelter for the City of Lynchburg, we accept the lost or unwanted pets surrendered to us from those communities. We help pets who are at risk for euthanasia at other shelters by transferring them into our care. We accept those that are easily adoptable as pets, as well as those that need special nurturing from abusive or neglectful experiences. Along with our Center for Pets, we also have a regional spay/neuter clinic which performs around 7,000 spay/neuter surgeries annually It is the help of the community that makes our life-saving programs possible. Mission: Leading the way in providing a compassionate, safe community for animals and people through progressive life-saving programs, services, resources, and education.
A community free of homeless and neglected pets.
